Full moon rising

As a new season dawns, shamanic teacher Sandra Ingerman helps

us celebrate changing tides.

WHEN I LIVED IN SAN FRANCISCO IN1980,Iwas

introduced to shamanic journeying. I loved this

practice, which taught me how to receive my

own spiritual guidance by traveling outside

of time and space to meet with helping and

compassionate spirits.

Using the ancient power of ceremony,

shamans move beyond ordinary thinking into

unseen realms, which are filled with great

beauty and spiritual healing energies that can

empower our lives. In these realms, shamans

can see disharmonious energy patterns that

need to be rebalanced in order to improve

the health of people and the planet. And it is

also through ceremony that shamans receive

guidance on how to restore harmonious

energies—from the natural world, helping

spirits, and their own inner wisdom.
